Yes, we’re a Middle Eastern tribe. Yes, white people can usually tell we’re not the same as them by looking. Yes, Europeans never accepted us in their countries, even when the homeland we were expelled from was still under foreign rule. And yes, a few decades ago they tried to murder every last one of us to protect the white race from our polluted Levantine blood. So we can handle people of European descent hating us for being foreigners. What we can’t handle is being erased, blended into our white oppressors, told *we benefit from white supremacy.* We know where we came from. We’ll defend ourselves to the death on our own soil if need be. But we will not be told by people who should know better that we’re from somewhere else.
